Something no one has mentioned yet relating to heroes. +more

Hi.

Does anyone else out there wish they could have an equipable spellbook that gives a caster a basic Magic Missile/Arcane Bolt kind of default ranged attack?

Also, better bows to be able to make a ranger hero. I'm just an old MOM fan, but I was seriously disapointed that all heroes were beurocrates :(.

Legendary heroes should be differentiated by having mounts.

Mounts should provide bonuses since they're retardedly rare in most games. +More mount types like bears, spiders.

 

Its a shame there isn't a system to spend level points on spellbooks to specialize secondary casters, thus creating a need for more then one.

I think heroes should be the meat, and the deal breakers of the combat system, and not get lost behind a "squad" of leather armor wearing axemen(the exact point in the game when heroes suck.)

 

Anyways, just my late night thoughts.

 

 

Thanks.

Oh yeah,

Ranged attack for mages is extra important if you think your mage looks weird in full heavy plate. :)

 

Also I would settle for wands/staffs that can be enchanted, or added to the magic items tech tree. And A plus INT hat with a plus WIS robe.

Perhaps even rideable mounts form the drastically empty summoning magic book.

Yeah.  Heroes should be your elites, for the most part.  Your shock troops and aces in the holes.  You could make a good army without them, but you'll always be at a disadvantage.

I just want diversity in my heroes, instead of a bunch of guys that look and act the same. :)

Most importantly I want a default ranged attack for mages.
